Peter Brunone '18 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I picked up a golf club at 12 years of age, I was immediately hooked. I’ve been seen on the course when the sun rises and just before the sun sets. Although, I had passion for this sport in my younger years I also was a multi sport athlete. In my freshman and sophomore year I ran track and cross country at a competitive level. It was not until my junior year until I finally became completely committed to the sport.  Ever since my freshman year I have played on the varsity golf team at Trumbull High School. I love the team and the competitive atmosphere of junior golf.

Currently, I am 5’ 11” and 140 pounds and attend Trumbull High School as part of the class of 2018. While playing golf in high school I was able to obtain 2 varsity letters in my Freshman and Sophomore year. In my Sophomore year I started consistently for the varsity golf team, but it was not until the summer when I hit my peak of my golfing career (so far). In the McDermott Junior Invitation I shot a 78 finishing T-2 in tough conditions and in the Keney Park Junior Open I shot a 75 as a personal best finishing T-3. Those tournaments helped me qualify for the Northern Junior Open, which unfortunately I was not able to play in. In the offseason (unfortunately, it snows a lot in Connecticut so I haven’t had the opportunity to play on the golf course often) I have continued to improve my game by working with a golf fitness trainer and golf swing coach in the simulator.
